Extract

Perhaps, this will bring a tear to your eye. In contrast to the waves of
Booooing that hit Bush today at the Pope's funeral, Bill Clinton was
Mobbed and greeted with adoring chants of U.S.A.!, U.S.A.!, U.S.A.!

Why'd you snip this part of the story?

"There was certainly a lot of affection for Mr. Clinton, WHO CONSISTENTLY
GOT BETTER PRESS HERE DURING HIS PRESIDENCY THAN MR. BUSH DOES."

It's really no surprise that a socialist would be looked upon more favorably
than a capitalist in a socialist country. Journalists always tend to be a
little to the left of mainstream. In a country like Italy, where
"mainstream" is already shifted to the left, journalists end up being
communists (like the one the Marines fragged in Iraq).
